Your car, your rules
I know Andy it's all that Neil’s fault, AGAIN! He’s a bad influence that one. I’ve seen him dealing (ok swapping) Auto Union Streamliner USB sticks for Hubcaps.

Anyway i think they look good. I have black wheels on my 8, but then i am a rug dealer

After some consideration, decided on silver after all, got the new rubber on today!
Left the centres grey at the moment? What do you think?
